Town Clerk2024 Election Information: State Primary & State Election

CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS or Register to Vote – CheckStatus

The last day to register for the Nov. 5 State/Presidential Election is Sat. Oct 26, the Clerk’s Office will be open 9:00 – 5:00 for registration.

Nov. 5 Sample Ballots will be posted once they are available.

There are 3 options for voting in the Nov. 5 Election:

  1. VOTE AT THE POLLS – on Nov. 5 at the HW Recreation Center gymnasium, 16 Union St.  Polls are open from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm
  2. VOTE BY MAIL – The Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Elections Division mailed postcard applications for Vote by Mail for 2024 elections. If you selected “All 2024 Elections,” you will receive a mailed ballot for the Nov. 5 State Election.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO APPLY AGAIN.  If you did not return the postcard you received, you will receive another postcard in mid-Sep for the State Election.  Please sign the postcard or we will have to reject the application.
    • Last day to request a mailed ballot is Tue. Oct 29. Click here for an application.
    • You can apply for a mailed ballot on-line at www.voteinma.com
    • The mailed ballot must be received by Fri, Nov. 8.  If possible, please return the ballot earlier.  The ballot can be dropped off at the Town drop box at the parking lot of the Council on Aging or at the Clerk’s Office during business hours.  We ask that you avoid dropping the ballot in the mail.  Many ballots for the Presidential Primary (28) and the Annual Town Election (15) were rejected because they arrived too late.  And, please, be sure to sign the envelope before returning it.
